"Ur, uh, well, no, not yet but our oldest son has eaten cuy at his friends home", We proudly tell him.

"Oh yeah, what did he say?" They ask with big grins on their face.

"He said it tastes like greasy chicken". We all start laughing.

One of our other sons grew up having hamsters, mice, rats, and gerbils as pets and he lets everyone know right off the bat that he does not eat pets!! We're with him. Guinea pigs are about as big as a rats but cute like hamsters.

Hi, I am a vegetarian, I only eat cheese sometimes, no meat, so do you think that I'm going to be fine living in Cuenca as a vegetarian and animal lover? guinea pigs are so cute! =( are the cuencanos going to respect my lifestyle? I know that there are some vegetarian restaurants. I am venezolana (from Venezuela)living in the US (Florida) We really like Cuenca and are thinking to move there! Thanks!

Yes, you will get along just fine. Guinea pigs are pets!! Have you downloaded our free restaurant guide yet? In it there are 4 or 5 vegetarian restaurants in Cuenca. The link for it is at the top of the blog under the big photo.

DIY Cuenca Landing Guide! Available in Paperback and eBook!

Frank and Angie For the past 4 years I have been checking various countries to retire in, and after checking them out and doing extensive research I have decided on Ecuador. After checking out all the blogs and web sites out there on Ecuador I have found you site to be the most informative and down to earth one that I have found. You present an honest and straight forward picture of what it is like to live in EC, but more importantly you actually do check things before you put them on your site without any agenda or recommendations. I especially like your DYI Cuenca Landing Guide book. In fact I liked it so much I purchased both the digital and hard copies. I have also taken your suggestions and have started my residency visa application from here at home and have started to learn Spanish to help me, as you say, Go Local. Thanks again for your frankness and honesty. -- JC, Reno

What OUR READERS Are Saying!

Thank you for researching and presenting the information which most people considering a move to Cuenca are most interested in. You, as a couple, come across (to me) to be down-to-earth, genuine, pragmatic people who know that most people wishing to move to Cuenca are interested in saving money and having an affordable life there more than the issues touched upon by the "jet-set" crowd of writers found on other websites, a big THANK YOU! - Comment left by a reader!
